What Is Political Risk?
Political decisions, actions, and events can have a dramatic effect on business and economic activities. Political risk analysis examines local, national, and international politics to determine their impact for corporations and investors. Risk factors range from violent uprisings to changes in government to new laws and regulations.

Why Is Political Risk Important?
